“As for Russia, we are one people, I said a thousand times. These are our people, our brothers. We were always together with them, they always gave us a shoulder, ”Belta quotes Lukashenko.
He noted that the Russians belong to Belarus, despite the fact that Minsk has problems with Moscow.
“Belarusians will not allow betraying our older brother. But we require the older brother to be the older brother. So that they do not spread rot, do not bend us, but support us in difficult times, ”the Belarusian leader noted.
Lukashenko also said that Minsk will continue to pursue a multi-vector policy.
“We must look at both the East and the West. By the way, Russia has nothing to reproach us with. They even have a double-headed eagle - he looks there and there. And no one will forbid us to look in different directions, ”he said.
In addition, Lukashenko said that Belarus could, together with Russia or Ukraine, hold the Olympics.
